The subject line is malformed. It should have been:
"Vista. Puzzling. Over."
That aside, with regards to your last argument:

Everything visual that exists in Windows Vista has been available in both
GNOME and KDE for years. They actually do /more/ in terms of eye candy. When
was the last time you installed Linux and actually enabled some of the

exploration.
